The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves last year with its support for the iPhone 16, but now the game's being taken to the next level with the launch of the Backbone Pro. This next-gen controller promises a versatile gaming experience, offering both handheld and wireless modes. You can connect it via Bluetooth for ultimate portability or use a USB-C connection for zero-latency gameplay, eliminating the need to charge your controller.
The Backbone Pro's compatibility extends beyond just phones; it's designed to work seamlessly with tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This universal approach is powered by FlowState Technology, which allows for easy switching between previously paired devices. The team behind the Backbone Pro has worked tirelessly to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," ensuring comfort without compromising on size.
In addition to its impressive hardware, the Backbone Pro comes with customization features and remappable back buttons, enhancing your gaming experience. The handy Backbone app serves as a gateway to a variety of gaming services, including Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can also enjoy a library of games at no extra cost.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, shares his vision: *"We believe the future of gaming transcends individual devices. With Backbone Pro, you can experience the excitement and connection of gaming on any screen with just a single device."*
